It's an honor to welcome Lansing-area native Monte Pride to the Potter's Lounge stage. This gifted singer-songwriter-fingerstyle guitarist has been in great demand since he began performing in his home state five years ago. With his rich tenor voice and accomplished guitar technique - his talent belies his young age. Monte's powerful ability to communicate wholeheartedly shines through in his writing, and his soul stirring performances. This gifted artist draws inspiration from long-time trailblazing musicians like Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, and Nick Drake, along with contemporary folk genre-benders like 'The Tallest Man On Earth,' 'The Avett Brothers,' and 'Frontier Ruckus.' He has three, well-received albums to his credit - and has performed in countless venues, concert series, and festivals all across the state. When Monte takes to the stage singing of love, loss, and longing - you're drawn in, and along for a 'beautiful ride.' Join us for an 'up close & personal' night of music with Monte Pride.
